About The Lenses

This wide selection gives us the freedom to offer you various brands tailored to your needs without the typical bias other opticians may feel.

Lens Options:

Plastic — is the standard lens material. Plastic lenses are available in just about all lens designs.

Polycarbonate — is thinner, lighter, and is more impact resistant than plastic lenses when compared to lenses of the same prescription. They have 100% UV protection. We recommend polycarbonate for children, sports, and safety glasses. Please note that no lens is unbreakable or shatterproof.

High Index — if you have a strong prescription, this is the answer. The high-index materials can bend light to a greater degree than glass or plastic lenses. The same correction in high-index can be made in a less curved design so that it is thinner and lighter than plastic.

Anti-Reflective — look your best and see the world better. Anti-reflective coated lenses improve the look of your glasses while increasing your perceived contrast. This enhancement works by dramatically reducing reflections that can occur on the surfaces of your lenses.

PhotoChromatic — photochromic lenses can change from clear to dark depending on the amount of light to which they are exposed. These lenses provide comfort indoors and outdoors, but are not a replacement for sunglasses.

Progressive (no lines) — these lenses correct vision from near to far all in one lens without the visible trifocal lines. We have the latest designs that can be tailored to meet your specific optical needs.

Free-Form Lens Designs — many of our lenses are now available in a high-tech digital design known as “free-form”. These lenses are created with the latest technology and can give you a significant improvement in your visual acuity.

There are many other lens designs and enhancements to explore along with your frame selection.

FAQ

Why should you see an optician rather than order your glasses on-line? Glasses are hand-crafted and designed for the shape and size of your eyes, face, and head. On-line glasses may not fit you once you receive them and may look different than anticipated. Color is always best seen in person! Other decisions include type and tinting of lenses, and special coatings. On-line information is available in these areas, but a personal encounter with an optician may offer additional insight to your specific needs. Once glasses are selected there are measurements taken to ensure each lens will perfectly match the written prescription. Licensed opticians are well-trained to ensure the accuracy of these measurements. You can trust the opticians at Vision Associates’ to help you look and see your very best.
